Protein Powder Comparison Tables

To find the best protein powder, we read reviews fromOutside Online,Livestrong,Nerd Fitness,Gear Patrol,The Wirecutter, andRunnerclick in addition to reading hundreds of Amazon customer reviews. In total, we identified 23 promising protein powders. We compared and cross-referenced that list to narrow it down to the five protein powders that nearly every reviewer loves. Then, we purchased these picks to verify our findings. These comparison tables directly compare the top protein powders by the features that most reviewers found to be the most important in a protein powder.

Financial comparisons

It seems that every protein powder comes in a different sized tub, so we had to run some numbers to find out the protein powder that is the best bang for your buck. First, we compare by price per serving. But since some protein powders have more fiber, sugar, etc. than others, we also analyzed price by gram of protein.

Nutrition comparisons

Protein powder companies don’t make it easy to directly compare nutrition benefits. Each protein powder company seems to measure servings differently. We read through dozens of labels to build this comparison table.
